    Monnie - easy to say but I wouldn't worry. Funnily enough when we had our egg transfer our FS told us to go home and get intimate as the female orgasm helps create a 'friendly' environment for the embryo to implant into - its just replicating the natural process, so its actually a good thing

    Speaking of embarrasing IVF stories. I went for an ultrasound a few weeks back and it was an internal and external, anyway, it wasn't at my normal IVF clinic, it was at a more specialised imaging clinic and the sonographer funnily enough was the one that used to work at my IVF clinic, she was teaching a newbie and when I dropped my pants in readyness for the internal she laughed and commented that you can tell the IVF patients (as we are so used to internals and pants dropping hahahahahaa), we all had a giggle :rolf:

    Someone once told me when I was pregnant with DS that "I would lose all my dignity during childbirth", however I think us IVF ladies lose it well before

    Good luck with your next journey, and you know what, if it were to happen again, just remember you are 'creating a friendly environment for the emby to implant'

    Yes, it's me. Glad you're feeling better about it. Hope you'll be adding another baby to your clan soon

    I haven't O'd with any procedure but when I was in labour with DD2 I did O just before she crowned. Luckily the midwives thought I was moaning in pain lol

    I think the doctors and nurses involved in IVF have probably seen pretty much all there is to see and just take it in their stride. After my embryo transfer I had ultrasound jelly on my tummy and my legs still up in stirrups with my lady bits hanging out there for all to see. I felt rather exposed, but when I went to cover up a little with the sheet the nurse grabbed the sheet and told me I still had gel on my tummy as if I had just forgotten. I don't think she even realised that I was pulling the sheet down to cover up a little.
